HEAVEN
It is He Who created everything on the earth for you and then directed
His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens.
He has knowledge of all things. (2:29)
He said, 'Adam, tell them their names.' When he had told them their names,
He said, 'Did I not tell you that I know the Unseen of the heavens and
the earth, and I know what you make known and what you hide?' (2:33)
Do you not know that Allah is He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and
the earth belongs and that, besides Allah, you have no protector and no
helper? (2:107)
They say, 'Allah has a son.' Glory be to Him! No, everything in the heavens
and earth belongs to Him. Everything is obedient to Him. (2:116)
The Originator of the heavens and earth. When He decides on something,
He just says to it, 'Be!' and it is. (2:117)
In the creation of the heavens and earth, and the alternation of the
night and day, and the ships which sail the seas to people's benefit,
and the water which Allah sends down from the sky-by which He brings the
earth to life when it was dead and scatters about in it creatures of every
kind-and the varying direction of the winds, and the clouds subservient
between heaven and earth, there are Signs for people who use their intellect.
(2:164)
Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is
not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the
earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission?
He knows what is before them and what is behind them but they cannot grasp
any of His knowledge save what He wills. His Footstool encompasses the
heavens and the earth and their preservation does not tire Him. He is
the Most High, the Magnificent. (2:255)
Everything in the heavens and everything in the earth belongs to Allah.
Whether you divulge what is in yourselves or keep it hidden, Allah will
still call you to account for it. He forgives whoever He wills and He
punishes whoever He wills. Allah has power over all things. (2:284)
Say, 'Whether you conceal what is in your breasts or make it known, Allah
knows it. He knows what is in the heavens and what is on earth. Allah
has power over all things.' (3:29)
Is it other than the religion of Allah that you desire, when everything
in the heavens and earth, willingly or unwillingly, submits to Him and
to Him you will be returned? (3:83)
Everything in the heavens and everything in the earth belongs to Allah.
All matters return to Allah. (3:109)
Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden as wide as
the heavens and the earth, prepared for the people who guard against evil.
(3:133)
Those who are tight-fisted with the bounty Allah has given them should
not suppose that that is better for them. No indeed, it is worse for them!
What they were tight-fisted with will be hung around their necks on the
Day of Rising. Allah is the inheritor of the heavens and the earth and
Allah is aware of what you do. (3:180)
The kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs to Allah. Allah has power
over all things. (3:189)
In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of
night and day, there are Signs for people with intelligence: those who
remember Allah, standing, sitting and lying on their sides, and reflect
on the creation of the heavens and the earth: 'Our Lord, You have not
created this for nothing. Glory be to You! So safeguard us from the punishment
of the Fire.' (3:190-191)
What is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Allah. Allah encompasses
all things. (4:126)
What is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Allah. We have instructed
those given the Book before you and you yourselves, to have fear of Allah,
but if you disbelieve, what is in the heavens and in the earth belongs
to Allah. Allah is Rich Beyond Need, Praiseworthy. (4:131)
What is in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Allah. Allah suffices
as a Guardian. (4:132)
Mankind! The Messenger has brought you the truth from your Lord, so it
is better for you to believe. But if you disbelieve, everything in the
heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
(4:170)
People of the Book! Do not go to excess in your religion. Say nothing
but the truth about Allah. The Messiah, 'Isa son of Maryam, was only the
Messenger of Allah and His Word, which He cast into Maryam, and a Spirit
from Him. So believe in Allah and His Messengers. Do not say, 'Three.'
It is better that you stop. Allah is only One God. He is too Glorious
to have a son! Everything in the heavens and in the earth belongs to Him.
Allah suffices as a Guardian. (4:171)
Those who say, 'Allah is the Messiah, son of Maryam,' are disbelievers.
Say: 'Who possesses any power at all over Allah if He desires to destroy
the Messiah, son of Maryam, and his mother, and everyone else on earth?'
The kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything between them belongs
to Allah. He creates whatever He wills. Allah has power over all things.
(5:17)
The Jews and Christians say, 'We are Allah's children and His loved ones.'
Say: 'Why, then, does He punish you for your wrong actions? No, you are
merely human beings among those He has created. He forgives whoever He
wills and He punishes whoever He wills. The kingdom of the heavens and
the earth and everything between them belongs to Allah. He is our final
destination.' (5:18)
Do you not know that the kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs to
Allah? He punishes whoever He wills and forgives whoever He wills. Allah
has power over all things. (5:40)
Allah has made the Kaaba, the Sacred House, a special institution for
mankind, and also the sacred months and the sacrificial animals and the
ritual garlands. That is so you will know that Allah knows what is in
the heavens and in the earth and that Allah has knowledge of all things.
(5:97)
The kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in them belongs
to Allah. He has power over all things. (5:120)
Praise belongs to Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and appointed
darkness and light. Then those who disbelieve make others equal to their
Lord! (6:1)
He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth. He knows what you keep secret
and what you make public and He knows what you earn. (6:3)
Say: 'To whom does everything in the heavens and earth belong?' Say:
'To Allah.' He has made mercy incumbent on Himself. He will gather you
to the Day of Rising about which there is no doubt. As for those who have
lost their own selves, they have no faith. (6:12)
Say: 'Am I to take anyone other than Allah as my protector, the Bringer
into Being of the heavens and the earth, He Who feeds and is not fed?'
Say: 'I am commanded to be the first of the Muslims,' and, 'Do not be
among the idolaters.' (6:14)
It is He Who created the heavens and the earth with truth. The day He
says 'Be!' it is. His speech is Truth. The Kingdom will be His on the
Day the Trumpet is blown, the Knower of the Unseen and the Visible. He
is the All-Wise, the All-Aware. (6:73)
Because of that We showed Ibrahim the dominions of the heavens and the
earth so that he might be one of the people of certainty. (6:75)
(Ibrahim said,) 'I have turned my face to Him Who brought the heavens
and earth into being, a pure natural believer. I am not one of the idolaters.'
(6:79)
He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have
a son when He has no wife? He created all things and He has knowledge
of all things. (6:101)
Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days
and then settled Himself firmly on the Throne. He covers the day with
the night, each pursuing the other urgently; and the sun and moon and
stars are subservient to His command. Both creation and command belong
to Him. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. (7:54)
Say: 'Mankind! I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, of Him to Whom
the kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs. There is no god but Him.
He gives life and causes to die.' So believe in Allah and His Messenger,
the Ummi, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him so that
hopefully you will be guided. (7:158)
Have they not looked into the dominions of the heavens and the earth
and what Allah has created, and seen that it may well be that their appointed
time is near? In what discourse after this will they believe? (7:185)
They will ask you about the Hour: when is it due? Say: 'Knowledge of
it rests with my Lord alone. He alone will reveal it at its proper time.
It hangs heavy in the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you
except suddenly.' They will ask you as if you had full knowledge of it.
Say: 'Knowledge of it rests with Allah alone. But most people do not know
that.' (7:187)
There have been twelve months with Allah in the Book of Allah, from the
day He first created the heavens and earth. Four of them are forbidden.
That is the True Religion. So do not wrong one another during them. However,
fight the idolaters totally just as they fight you totally, and know that
Allah is with those who guard against evil. (9:36)
Allah is He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs. He
gives life and causes to die. You have no protector or helper besides
Allah. (9:116)
Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days
and then established Himself firmly on the Throne. He directs the whole
affair. No one can intercede except with His permission. That is Allah
your Lord, so worship Him. Will you not pay heed? (10:3)
In the alternation of night and day and what Allah has created in the
heavens and the earth there are Signs for people who guard against evil.
(10:6)
They worship, instead of Allah, what can neither harm them nor help them,
saying, 'These are our intercessors with Allah.' Say: 'Would you inform
Allah of something about which He does not know either in the heavens
or on the earth?' May He be glorified and exalted above what they associate
with Him! (10:18)
Yes, everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Allah. Yes, Allah's
promise is true but most of them do not know it. (10:55)
Yes, indeed! Everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth belongs
to Allah. Those who call on something other than Allah are not really
following their partner-gods. They are only following conjecture. They
are only guessing. (10:66)
They say, 'Allah has a son.' Glory be to Him! He is the Rich Beyond Need.
Everything in the heavens and everything on the earth belongs to Him.
Have you authority to say this or are you saying about Allah what you
do not know? (10:68)
Say: 'Look at what there is in the heavens and on the earth.' But Signs
and warnings are of no avail to people who have no faith. (10:101)
It is He Who created the heavens and the earth in six days when His Throne
was on the water, in order to test which of you has the best actions.
If you say, 'You will be raised up after death,' those who disbelieve
will say, 'This is nothing but downright magic.' (11:7)
As for those who are wretched, they will be in the Fire, where they will
sigh and gasp, remaining in it timelessly, for ever, as long as the heavens
and earth endure, except as your Lord wills. Your Lord is the Doer of
what He wills. (11:106-107)
As for those who are glad, they will be in the Garden, remaining in it
timelessly, for ever, as long as the heavens and earth endure, except
as your Lord wills: an uninterrupted gift. (11:108)
The Unseen of the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah and the whole
affair will be returned to Him. So worship Him and put your trust in Him.
Your Lord is not unaware of what you do. (11:123)
(Yusuf said,) 'My Lord, You have granted power to me on earth and taught
me the true meaning of events. Originator of the heavens and earth, You
are my Friend in this world and the Next. So take me as a Muslim at my
death and join me to the people who are righteous.' (12:101)
How many Signs there are in the heavens and earth! Yet they pass them
by, turning away from them. (12:105)
Allah is He Who raised up the heavens without any support-you can see
that-and then established Himself firmly on the Throne. He made the sun
and moon subservient, each running for a specified term. He directs the
whole affair. He makes the Signs clear so that hopefully you will be certain
about the meeting with your Lord. (13:2)
Say: 'Who is the Lord of the heavens and the earth?' Say: 'Allah.' Say:
'So why have you taken protectors apart from Him who possess no power
to help or harm themselves?' Say: 'Are the blind and seeing equal? Or
are darkness and light the same? Or have they assigned partners to Allah
who create as He creates, so that all creating seems the same to them?'
Say: 'Allah is the Creator of everything. He is the One, the All-Conquering.'
(13:16)
Allah is He to Whom everything in the heavens and everything in the earth
belongs. Woe to the disbelievers because of a terrible punishment. (14:2)
Their Messengers said, 'Is there any doubt about Allah, the Bringer into
Being of the heavens and the earth? He summons you to forgive you for
your wrong actions and to defer you until a specified time.' They said,
'You are nothing but human beings like ourselves who want to debar us
from what our fathers worshipped; so bring us a clear authority.' (14:10)
Do you not see that Allah has created the heavens and the earth with
truth? If He wished He could eliminate you and bring about a new creation.
(14:19)
Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down water
from the sky and by it brings forth fruits as provision for you. He has
made the ships subservient to you to run upon the sea by His command,
and He has made the rivers subservient to you. (14:32)
On the Day the earth is changed to other than the earth, and the heavens
likewise, and they parade before Allah, the One, the All-Conquering, that
Day you will see the evildoers yoked together in chains. (14:48-49)
We did not create the heavens and earth and everything between them,
except with truth. The Hour is certainly coming, so turn away graciously.
(15:85)
He created the heavens and the earth with truth. He is exalted above
anything they associate with Him. (16:3)
Everything in the heavens and every creature on the earth prostrates
to Allah, as do the angels. They are not puffed up with pride. (16:49)
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Him, and the religion
belongs to Him, firmly and for ever. So why do you fear anyone other than
Allah? (16:52)
Allah has given you wives from among yourselves, and given you children
and grandchildren from your wives, and provided good things for you. So
why do they believe in falsehood and reject the blessings of Allah, and
worship, instead of Allah, things that have no control over their provision
from the heavens or earth in any way, and are themselves completely impotent?
(16:72-73)
The Unseen of the heavens and earth belongs to Allah. The matter of the
Hour is only the blink of an eye away, or even nearer. Allah has power
over all things. (16:77)
The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in them glorify Him. There
is nothing which does not glorify Him with praise but you do not understand
their glorification. He is All-Forbearing, Ever-Forgiving. (17:44)
My Lord knows best everyone in the heavens and earth. We favoured some
of the Prophets over others. And We gave Dawud the Zabur. (17:55)
Do they not see that Allah, Who created the heavens and earth, has the
power to create the like of them, and has appointed fixed terms for them
of which there is no doubt? But the wrongdoers still spurn anything but
disbelief. (17:99)
He (Musa) said, 'You know that no one sent these down but the Lord of
the heavens and earth to be clear proofs. Pharaoh, I think you are destroyed.'
(17:102)
We fortified their hearts when they stood up and said, 'Our Lord is the
Lord of the heavens and the earth and We will not call on any god apart
from Him. We would in that case have uttered an abomination.' (18:14)
Say: 'Allah knows best how long they stayed. The Unseen of the heavens
and the earth belongs to Him. How perfectly He sees, how well He hears!
They have no protector apart from Him. Nor does He share His rule with
anyone.' (18:26)
I did not make them witnesses of the creation of the heavens and the
earth nor of their own creation. I would not take as assistants those
who lead astray! (18:51)
He is Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between them,
so worship Him and persevere in His worship. Do you know of any other
with His Name? (19:65)
The heavens are all but rent apart and the earth split open and the mountains
brought crashing down, at their ascription of a son to the All-Merciful!
(19:90-91)
There is no one in the heavens and earth who will not come to the All-Merciful
as a servant. (19:93)
(The Qur'an is) a Revelation from Him Who created the earth and the high
heavens. (20:4)
Everything in the heavens and everything on the earth and everything
in between them and everything under the ground belongs to Him. (20:6)
Everyone in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him. Those in His presence
do not consider themselves too great to worship Him and do not grow tired
of it. (21:19)
Do those who disbelieve not see that the heavens and the earth were sewn
together and then We unstitched them and that We made from water every
living thing? So will they not believe? (21:30)
He (Ibrahim) said, 'Far from it! Your Lord is the Lord of the heavens
and the earth, He Who brought them into being. I am one of those who bear
witness to that.' (21:56)
Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and everyone on the earth
prostrates to Allah, and the sun and moon and stars and the mountains,
trees and beasts and many of mankind? But many of them inevitably merit
punishment. Those Allah humiliates will have no one to honour them. Allah
does whatever He wills. (22:18)
Everything in the heavens and everything in the earth belongs to Him.
Allah is the Rich Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy. (22:64)
If the truth were to follow their whims and desires, the heavens and
the earth and everyone in them would have been brought to ruin. No indeed!
We have given them their Reminder, but they have turned away from it.
(23:71)
Say: 'Who is the Lord of the Seven Heavens and the Lord of the Mighty
Throne?' (23:86)
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The metaphor of His
Light is that of a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp inside a glass,
the glass like a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither
of the east nor of the west, its oil all but giving off light even if
no fire touches it. Light upon Light. Allah guides to His Light whoever
He wills and Allah makes metaphors for mankind and Allah has knowledge
of all things. (24:35)
Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and earth glorifies Allah,
as do the birds with their outspread wings? Each one knows its prayer
and glorification. Allah knows what they do. (24:41)
Everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Allah. He knows what
you are engaged upon. On the Day when they are returned to Him, He will
inform them of what they did. Allah has knowledge of all things. (24:64)
He to Whom the kingdom of the heavens and the earth belongs. He does
not have a son and He has no partner in the Kingdom. He created everything
and determined it most exactly. (25:2)
Say: 'The One Who sent it down is He Who knows all hidden secrets in
the heavens and earth. He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful.' (25:6)
He Who created the heavens and the earth and everything in between them
in six days, and then established Himself firmly on the Throne; the All-Merciful-ask
anyone who is informed about Him. (25:59)
He (Musa) said, 'The Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything
between them if you knew for sure.' (26:24)
(The hoopoe said,) 'I found both her (Queen of Sheba) and her people
prostrating to the sun instead of Allah. Satan has made their actions
seem good to them and debarred them from the Way so they are not guided
and do not prostrate to Allah, Who brings out what is hidden in the heavens
and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you divulge.' (27:24-25)
He Who created the heavens and the earth and sends down water for you
from the sky by which We make luxuriant gardens grow-you could never make
their trees grow. Is there another god besides Allah? No indeed, but they
are people who equate others with Him! (27:60)
Say: 'No one in the heavens and the earth knows the Unseen except Allah.'
They are not aware of when they will be raised. (27:65)
On the Day the Trumpet is blown and everyone in the heavens and everyone
on the earth is terrified-except those Allah wills, everyone will come
to Him abject. (27:87)
Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth. There is certainly
a Sign in that for the believers. (29:44)
Say: 'Allah is a sufficient witness between me and you.' He knows everything
in the heavens and the earth. Those who believe in falsehood and reject
Allah, they are the losers. (29:52)
If you ask them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth and made the
sun and moon subservient?' they will say, 'Allah.' So how have they been
perverted? (29:61)
Have they not reflected within themselves? Allah did not create the heavens
and the earth and everything between them except with truth and for a
fixed term. Yet many people reject the meeting with their Lord. (30:8)
Praise be to Him in the heavens and the earth, in the afternoon and when
you reach midday. (30:18)
Among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and the variety
of your languages and colours. There are certainly Signs in that for every
being. (30:22)
Everyone in the heavens and earth belongs to Him. All are submissive
to Him. (30:26)
It is He Who originated creation and then regenerates it. That is very
easy for Him. His is the most exalted designation in the heavens and the
earth. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (30:27)
It is Allah Who created the heavens with no support-you can see them-and
cast firmly embedded mountains on the earth so that it would not move
under you, and scattered about in it creatures of every kind. And We send
down water from the sky and make every generous species grow in it. (31:10)
(Luqman said,) 'My son, even if something weighs as little as a mustard-seed
and is inside a rock or anywhere else in the heavens or earth, Allah will
bring it out. Allah is All-Pervading, All-Aware.' (31:16)
Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you everything in the heavens
and earth and has showered His blessings upon you, both outwardly and
inwardly? Yet there are people who argue about Allah without knowledge
or guidance or any illuminating Book. (31:20)
If you asked them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' they would
say, 'Allah!' Say: 'Praise be to Allah!' But most of them do not know.
(31:25)
Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to Allah. Allah is the Rich
Beyond Need, the Praiseworthy. (31:26)
Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and everything between
them in six days and then established Himself firmly upon the Throne.
You have no protector or intercessor apart from Him. So will you not pay
heed? (32:4)
We offered the Trust to the heavens, the earth and the mountains but
they refused to take it on and shrank from it. But man took it on. He
is indeed wrongdoing and ignorant. (33:72)
Praise be to Allah, to Whom everything in the heavens and everything
in the earth belongs, and praise be to Him in the hereafter. He is the
All-Wise, the All-Aware. (34:1)
Those who disbelieve say, 'The Hour will never come.' Say: 'Yes, by my
Lord, it certainly will come!' He is the Knower of the Unseen, Whom not
even the weight of the smallest particle eludes, either in the heavens
or in the earth; nor is there anything smaller or larger than that which
is not in a Clear Book. (34:3)
Say: 'Call on those you make claims for besides Allah. They have no power
over even the smallest particle, either in the heavens or in the earth.
They have no share in them. He has no need of their support.' (34:22)
Say: 'Who provides for you from the heavens and earth?' Say: 'Allah.
It is certain that one or the other of us, either we or you, is following
guidance or else clearly astray.' (34:24)
Praise be to Allah, the Bringer into Being of the heavens and earth,
He Who made the angels messengers, with wings-two, three or four. He adds
to creation in any way He wills. Allah has power over all things. (35:1)
Allah knows the Unseen of the heavens and earth. Allah knows what the
heart contains. (35:38)
Say: 'Have you thought about your partner gods, those you call upon besides
Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth; or do they have a
partnership in the heavens?' Have We given them a Book whose Clear Signs
they follow? No indeed! The wrongdoers promise each other nothing but
delusion. (35:40)
Allah keeps a firm hold on the heavens and earth, preventing them from
vanishing away. And if they vanished no one could then keep hold of them.
Certainly He is Most Forbearing, Ever-Forgiving. (35:41)
Have they not travelled in the land and seen the final fate of those
before them? They were far greater than them in strength. Allah cannot
be withstood in any way, either in the heavens or on earth. He is All-Knowing,
All-Powerful. (35:44)
Does He Who created the heavens and earth not have the power to create
the same again? Yes indeed! He is the Creator, the All-Knowing. (36:81)
Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything between them; Lord of
the Easts. (37:5)
Or does the kingdom of the heavens and earth and everything between them
belong to them? Let them, in that case, climb the ropes to heaven! (38:10)
Say: 'I am only a warner. There is no god except Allah, the One, the
All-Conquering, Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything between
them, the Almighty, the Endlessly Forgiving.' (38:65-66)
He created the heavens and the earth with truth. He wraps the night around
the day and wraps the day around the night, and has made the sun and moon
subservient, each one running for a specified term. Is He not indeed the
Almighty, the Endlessly Forgiving? (39:5)
If you ask them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' they will say,
'Allah.' Say: 'So what do you think? If Allah desires harm for me, can
those you call upon besides Allah remove His harm? Or if He desires mercy
for me, can they withhold His mercy?' Say: 'Allah is enough for me. All
those who truly trust put their trust in Him.' (39:38)
Say: 'Intercession is entirely Allah's affair. The kingdom of the heavens
and earth is His. Then you will be returned to Him.' (39:44)
Say: 'O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the
Unseen and the Visible, You will judge between Your servants regarding
what they differed about.' (39:46)
The keys of the heavens and earth belong to Him. It is those who reject
Allah's Signs who are the losers. (39:63)
They do not measure Allah with His true measure. The whole earth will
be a mere handful for Him on the Day of Rising the heavens folded up in
His right hand. Glory be to Him! He is exalted above the partners they
ascribe! (39:67)
The Trumpet will be blown and those in the heavens and those in the earth
will all lose consciousness, except those Allah wills. Then it will be
blown a second time and at once they will be standing upright, looking
on. (39:68)
Pharaoh said, 'Haman, build me a tower so that perhaps I may gain means
of access, access to the heavens, so that I can look on Musa's God. Truly
I think he is a liar.' That is how Pharaoh's evil actions were made attractive
to him and he debarred others from the Path. Pharaoh's scheming led to
nothing but ruin. (40:36-37)
The creation of the heavens and earth is far greater than the creation
of mankind. But most of mankind do not know it. (40:57)
In two days He determined them as seven heavens and revealed, in every
heaven, its own mandate. We adorned the lowest heaven with lamps and guarded
it. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. (41:12)
Everything in the heavens and everything in the earth belongs to Him.
He is the Most High, the Magnificent. (42:4)
The heavens are all but rent asunder from above when the angels glorify
their Lord with praise and ask forgiveness for those who are on the earth.
Allah is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful. (42:5)
(He is) the Bringer into Being of the heavens and the earth: He has given
you mates from among yourselves, and given mates to the livestock, in
that way multiplying you. Nothing is like Him. He is the All-Hearing,
the All-Seeing. (42:11)
The Keys of the heavens and earth belong to Him. He expands the provision
of anyone He wills or restricts it. He has knowledge of all things. (42:12)
Among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and earth and all the
creatures He has spread about in them. And He has the power to gather
them together whenever He wills. (42:29)
The kingdom of the heavens and earth belongs to Allah. He creates whatever
He wills. He gives daughters to whoever He wishes; and He gives sons to
whoever He wishes. (42:49)
HEREAFTER, THE (AKHIRAH)
(Those who guard against evil are) those who believe in what has been
sent down to you and what was sent down before you, and are certain about
the hereafter. (2:4)
Those are the people who trade the hereafter for this world. The punishment
will not be lightened for them. They will not be helped. (2:86)
Say, 'If the abode of the hereafter with Allah is for you alone, to the
exclusion of all others, then long for death if you are telling the truth.'
(2:94)
They follow what the Satans recited in the reign of Sulayman. Sulayman
did not disbelieve, but the Satans did, teaching people sorcery and what
had been sent down to Harut and Marut, the two angels in Babylon, who
taught no one without first saying to him, 'We are merely a trial and
temptation, so do not disbelieve.' People learned from them how to separate
a man and his wife but they cannot harm anyone by it, except with Allah's
permission. They have learned what will harm them and will not benefit
them. They know that any who deal in it will have no share in the hereafter.
What an evil thing they have sold themselves for if they only knew! (2:102)
When you have completed your rites, remember Allah as you used to remember
your forefathers-or even more. There are some people who say, 'Our Lord,
give us good in this world.' They will have no share in the hereafter.
(2:200)
And there are others who say, 'Our Lord, give us good in this world,
and good in the hereafter, and safeguard us from the punishment of the
Fire.' (2:201)
They will ask you about the Sacred Month and fighting in it. Say, 'Fighting
in it is a serious matter; but barring access to the Way of Allah and
rejecting Him and barring access to the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram)
and expelling its people from it are far more serious in the sight of
Allah. Discord is worse than killing.' They will not stop fighting you
until they make you revert from your religion, if they are able. As for
any of you who revert from their religion and die disbeliever, their actions
will come to nothing in this world and the hereafter. They are the Companions
of the Fire, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. (2:217)
... Allah makes the Signs clear to you, so that hopefully you will reflect
on this world and the hereafter. They will ask you about the property
of orphans. Say, 'Managing it in their best interests is best.' If you
mix your property with theirs, they are your brothers. Allah knows a squanderer
from a good manager. If Allah had wanted, He could have been hard on you.
Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (2:219-220)
They are the ones whose actions come to nothing in this world or the
hereafter. They will have no helpers. (3:22)
When the angels said, 'Maryam, your Lord gives you good news of a Word
from Him. His name is the Messiah, 'Isa, son of Maryam, of high esteem
in this world and the hereafter, and one of those brought near. (3:45)
As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a harsh punishment
in this world and the hereafter. They will have no helpers.' (3:56)
Those who sell Allah's contract and their own oaths for a paltry price,
such people will have no portion in the hereafter and on the Day of Rising
Allah will not speak to them or look at them or purify them. They will
have a painful punishment. (3:77)
If anyone desires anything other than Islam as a religion, it will not
be accepted from him, and in the hereafter he will be among the losers.
(3:85)
They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin the right and forbid
the wrong, and compete in doing good. They are among the righteous. (3:114)
No self can die except with Allah's permission, at a predetermined time.
If anyone desires the reward of this world, We will give him some of it.
If anyone desires the reward of the hereafter, We will give him some of
it. We will recompense the thankful. (3:145)
So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the best reward of the
hereafter. Allah loves good-doers. (3:148)
Allah fulfilled His promise to you when you were slaughtering them by
His permission. But then you faltered, disputing the command, and disobeyed
after He showed you what you love. Among you are those who want this world
and among you are those who want the hereafter. Then He turned you from
them in order to test you-but He has pardoned you. Allah shows favour
to the believers. (3:152)
Do not let those who rush headlong into disbelief sadden you. They do
not harm Allah in any way. Allah desires to assign no portion to them
in the hereafter. They will have a terrible punishment. (3:176)
So let those who sell the life of this world for the hereafter fight
in the Way of Allah. If someone fights in the Way of Allah, whether he
is killed or is victorious, We will pay him an immense reward. (4:74)
Do you not see those who were told: 'Hold back from fighting but perform
prayer and give the alms'? Then when fighting is prescribed for them,
a group of them fear people as Allah should be feared, or even more than
that. They say, 'Our Lord, why have you prescribed fighting for us? If
only You would give us just a little more time!' Say, 'The enjoyment of
this world is very brief. The hereafter is better for those who guard
against evil. You will not be wronged by so much as the smallest speck.'
(4:77)
If anyone desires the reward of this world, the reward of both this world
and hereafter is with Allah. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (4:134)
Today all good things have been made lawful for you. And the food of
those given the Book is also lawful for you and your food is lawful for
them. So are chaste women from among the believers and chaste women of
those given the Book before you, once you have given them their dowries
in marriage, not in fornication or taking them as lovers. But as for anyone
who rejects faith, his actions will come to nothing and in the hereafter
he will be among the losers. (5:5)
The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and
go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified,
or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the
land. That will be their degradation in this world and in the hereafter
they will have a terrible punishment, (5:33)
O Messenger! Do not be grieved by those who rush headlong into disbelief
among those who say 'We believe' with their tongues when their hearts
contain no faith. And among the Jews are those who listen to lies, listening
to other people who have not come to you, distorting words from their
proper meanings, saying, 'If you are given this, then take it. If you
are not given it, then beware!' If Allah desires misguidance for someone,
you cannot help him against Allah in any way. Those are the people whose
hearts Allah does not want to purify. They will have disgrace in this
world and in the hereafter they will have a terrible punishment. (5:41)
The life of this world is nothing but a game and a diversion. The hereafter
is better for those who guard against evil. So will you not use your intellect?
(6:32)
This is a Book We have sent down and blessed, confirming what came before
it, so that you can warn the Mother of Cities (Makka) and the people around
it. Those who believe in the hereafter believe in it and safeguard their
prayer. (6:92)
In this way We have appointed as enemies to every Prophet Satans from
both mankind and from the jinn, who inspire each other with delusions
by means of specious words-if your Lord had willed, they would not have
done it, so abandon them and all they fabricate-so that the hearts of
those who do not believe in the hereafter incline towards them and are
pleased with them and perpetrate whatever they perpetrate. (6:112-113)
Say: 'Produce your witnesses to testify that Allah made this forbidden.'
If they do testify, do not testify with them and do not follow the whims
and desires of people who deny Our Signs, and who do not believe in the
hereafter and make others equal to their Lord. (6:150)
The Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire,
'We have found that what our Lord promised us is true. Have you found
that what your Lord promised you is true?' They will say, 'Yes, we have!'
Between them a herald will proclaim: 'May the curse of Allah be on the
wrongdoers those who bar access to the Way of Allah, seeking in it something
crooked, and reject the hereafter.' (7:44-45)
As for those who denied Our Signs and the encounter of the hereafter,
their actions will come to nothing. Will they be repaid except for what
they did? (7:147)
(Musa said,) 'Prescribe good for us in this world and the hereafter.
We have truly turned to You.' He said, 'As for My punishment, I strike
with it anyone I will. My mercy extends to all things but I will prescribe
it for those who guard against evil and give the alms, and those who believe
in Our Signs.' (7:156)
An evil generation has succeeded them, inheriting the Book, taking the
goods of this lower world, and saying, 'We will be forgiven.' But if similar
goods come to them again they still take them. Has not a covenant been
made with them in the Book, that they should only say the truth about
Allah and have they not studied what is in it? The Abode of the Hereafter
is better for those who guard against evil. Will you not use your intellect?
(7:169)
It is not fitting for a Prophet to take captives until he has thoroughly
subdued the land. You desire the goods of this world, whereas Allah desires
the hereafter. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (8:67)
You who believe! What is the matter with you that when you are told,
'Go out and fight in the way of Allah,' you sink down heavily to the earth?
Are you happier with this world than the hereafter? Yet the enjoyment
of this world is very small compared to that of the hereafter. (9:38)
Like those before you who had greater strength than you and more wealth
and children. They enjoyed their portion; so enjoy your portion as those
before you enjoyed theirs. You have plunged into defamation as they plunged
into it. The actions of such people come to nothing in this world or the
hereafter. They are the lost. (9:69)
They swear by Allah that they said nothing, but they definitely spoke
the word of disbelief and returned to disbelief after their Islam.They
planned something which they did not achieve and they were vindictive
for no other cause than that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them
from His bounty. If they were to repent, it would be better for them.
But if they turn away, Allah will punish them with a painful punishment
in this world and the hereafter, and they will not find any protector
or helper on the earth. (9:74)
There is good news for them (the believers) in the life of this world
and in the hereafter. There is no changing the words of Allah. That is
the great victory! (10:64)
But such people will have nothing in the hereafter but the Fire. What
they achieved here will come to nothing. What they did will prove to be
null and void. (11:16)
(Allah's curse is on) those who bar access to the way of Allah and seek
in it something crooked and reject the hereafter. (11:19)
Without question they will be the greatest losers in the hereafter. (11:22)
There is certainly a Sign in that for anyone who fears the punishment
of the hereafter. That is a Day to which mankind will all be gathered.
That is a Day which will be witnessed by everyone. (11:103)
He (Yusuf) said, 'No meal to feed you will arrive before I have informed
you what they mean. That is part of what my Lord taught me. For I have
left the religion of a people who clearly have no faith in Allah and who
refuse to acknowledge the truth of the world to come.' (12:37)
But the wages of the hereafter are the best for people who believe and
fear their Lord. (12:57)
(Yusuf said,) 'My Lord, You have granted power to me on earth and taught
me the true meaning of events. Originator of the heavens and earth, You
are my Friend in this world and the hereafter. So take me as a Muslim
at my death and join me to the people who are righteous.' (12:101)
We sent none before you but men inspired with revelation from among the
people of the cities. Have they not travelled in the land and seen the
final fate of those before them? The abode of the hereafter is better
for those who guard against evil. So will you not use your intellect?
(12:109)
Allah expands provision to anyone He wills and restricts it. They rejoice
in the life of this world. Yet the life of this world, compared to the
hereafter, is only fleeting enjoyment. (13:26)
They will receive punishment in the life of this world and the punishment
of the hereafter is harsher still. They have no defender against Allah.
(13:34)
Those who prefer the life of this world to the hereafter, and bar access
to the way of Allah, seeking in it something crooked; they are greatly
misguided. (14:3)
Allah makes those who believe firm with the Firm Word in the life of
this world and the hereafter. But Allah misguides the wrongdoers. Allah
does whatever He wills. (14:27)
Your God is One God. As for those who do not believe in the hereafter,
their hearts are in denial and they are puffed up with pride. (16:22)
When those who have fear of Allah are asked, 'What has your Lord sent
down?' their reply is, 'Good!' There is good in this world for those who
do good, and the abode of the hereafter is even better. How wonderful
is the abode of those who guard against evil. (16:30)
As for those who migrate for Allah's sake after being wronged, We shall
give them good lodging in this world, and the reward of the hereafter
is greater still if they only knew. (16:41)
Those who do not believe in the hereafter have an evil likeness. Allah's
is the Highest Likeness. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (16:60)
That is because they prefer the life of this world to the hereafter and
because Allah does not guide disbelieving people. (16:107)
There is no doubt that in the hereafter they will be the losers. (16:109)
We gave him good in this world and in the hereafter he will be one of
the righteous. (16:122)
But as for those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have prepared
for them a painful punishment. (17:10)
But as for anyone who desires the hereafter, and strives for it with
the striving it deserves, being a believer, the striving of such people
will be gratefully acknowledged. (17:19)
Look how We favour some of them over others. But the hereafter has higher
ranks and greater favours. (17:21)
When you recite the Qur'an, We place an obscuring veil between you and
those who do not believe in the hereafter. (17:45)
Those who are blind in this world will be blind in the hereafter and
even further off the Path. (17:72)
We said to the tribe of Israel after that, 'Inhabit the land and, when
the promise of the hereafter comes, We will produce you as a motley crowd.'
(17:104)
That is how We repay anyone who is profligate and does not believe in
the Signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the hereafter is much harsher
and longer lasting. (20:127)
Among the people there is one who worships Allah right on the edge. If
good befalls him, he is content with it, but if a trial befalls him, he
reverts to his former ways, losing both this world and the hereafter.
That is indeed sheer loss. (22:11)
Anyone who thinks that Allah will not help him in this world and the
hereafter should stretch a rope up to the ceiling and then cut (it) off.
Let him see whether his stratagem gets rid of what enrages him! (22:15)
The ruling circle of his people-those who disbelieved and denied the
encounter of the hereafter and whom We had given opulence in this world-said,
'This is nothing but a human being like yourselves who eats what you eat
and drinks what you drink.' (23:33)
But those who do not believe in the hereafter recoil from the path. (23:74)
Were it not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy, both in this world
and the hereafter, a terrible punishment would have afflicted you for
your plunging headlong into it. (24:14)
People who love to see filth being spread about concerning those who
believe will have a painful punishment both in this world and the hereafter.
Allah knows and you do not know. (24:19)
Those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware (of the evil), are cursed
both in this world and the hereafter, and they will have a terrible punishment.
(24:23)
(Believers are) those who perform prayer and give the alms and are certain
about the hereafter. (27:3)
As for those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have made their
actions appear good to them and they wander about blindly. (27:4)
Such people will receive an evil punishment and will be the greatest
losers in the hereafter. (27:5)
No, their knowledge stops short of the hereafter. In fact they have doubts
about it. In fact they are blind to it. (27:66)
He is Allah. There is no god but Him. Praise be to Him in this world
and the hereafter. Judgement belongs to Him. You will be returned to Him.
(28:70)
(His people said to Qarun,) 'Seek the abode of the hereafter with what
Allah has given you, without forgetting your portion of this world. And
do good as Allah has been good to you. And do not seek to cause corruption
in the earth. Allah does not love corrupters.' (28:77)
That abode of the hereafter-We grant it to those who do not seek to exalt
themselves in the earth or to cause corruption in it. The successful outcome
is for those who guard against evil. (28:83)
Say: 'Travel about the earth and see how He brought creation out of nothing.
Then later Allah will bring about the next existence (of the hereafter).
Allah has power over all things. (29:20)
We gave him Ishaq and Ya'qub and placed Prophethood and the Book among
his progeny. We gave him his reward in this world and in the hereafter
he will be among the righteous. (29:27)
The life of this world is nothing but a game and a diversion. The abode
of the hereafter-that is truly Life if they only knew. (29:64)
They know an outward aspect of the life of this world but are heedless
of the hereafter. (30:7)
But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our Signs and the meeting
of the hereafter, they will be summoned to the punishment. (30:16)
(The good-doers are) those who perform prayer and give the alms and are
certain of the hereafter. (31:4)
(O Prophet, tell your wives:) 'But if you desire Allah and His Messenger
and the abode of the hereafter, Allah has prepared an immense reward for
those among you who are good-doers.' (33:29)
As for those who abuse Allah and His Messenger, Allah's curse is on them
in this world and the hereafter. He has prepared a humiliating punishment
for them. (33:57)
Praise be to Allah, to Whom everything in the heavens and everything
in the earth belongs, and praise be to Him in the hereafter. He is the
All-Wise, the All-Aware. (34:1)
Has he invented a lie against Allah or is he possessed?' No indeed! Those
who do not believe in the hereafter are in punishment and deeply misguided.
(34:8)
He (Satan) had no authority over them except to enable Us to know those
who believe in the hereafter from those who are in doubt about it. Your
Lord is the Preserver of all things. (34:21)
What of him who spends the night hours in prayer, prostrating and standing
up, mindful of the hereafter, hoping for the mercy of his Lord? Say: 'Are
they the same-those who know and those who do not know?' It is only people
of intelligence who pay heed. (39:9)
So Allah made them taste disgrace in the life of this world and the punishment
of the hereafter is far worse if they only knew. (39:26)
When Allah is mentioned on His own, the hearts of those who do not believe
in the hereafter shrink back shuddering, but when others apart from Him
are mentioned, they jump for joy. (39:45)
(The man who believed said,) 'My people! The life of this world is only
fleeting enjoyment. It is the hereafter which is the abode of permanence.'
(40:39)
There is no question that what you call me to has no foundation either
in this world or the hereafter, that our return is to Allah, and that
the profligate will be Companions of the Fire. (40:43)
(Woe to) those who do not give the alms and reject the hereafter. (41:7)
So We sent a howling wind against them on disastrous ill-fated days to
make them taste the punishment of degradation in this world. And the punishment
of the hereafter is even more degrading. And they will not be helped.
(41:16)
We are your protectors in the life of this world and the hereafter.You
will have there all that your selves could wish for. You will have there
everything you demand. (41:31)
If anyone desires to cultivate the hereafter, We will increase him in
his cultivation. If anyone desires to cultivate this world, We will give
him some of it but he will have no share in the hereafter. (42:20)
Were it not that mankind might all become one community, We would have
given those who reject the All-Merciful silver roofs to their houses and
silver stairways to ascend and silver doors to their houses and silver
couches on which to recline, and gold ornaments. All that is merely the
trappings of the life of this world. But the hereafter with your Lord
is for those who guard against evil. (43:33-35)
Those who do not believe in the hereafter give the angels female names.
(53:27)
Know that the life of this world is merely a game and a diversion and
ostentation and a cause of boasting among yourselves and trying to outdo
one another in wealth and children: like the plant-growth after rain which
delights the cultivators, but then it withers and you see it turning yellow,
and then it becomes broken stubble. In the hereafter there is terrible
punishment but also forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure. The
life of this world is nothing but the enjoyment of delusion. (57:20)
If Allah had not prescribed banishment for them, He would have punished
them in this world. But in the hereafter they will have the punishment
of the Fire. (59:3)
You who believe! Do not make friends of people with whom Allah is angry,
who have despaired of the hereafter as the disbelievers have despaired
of the inhabitants of the graves. (60:13)
Such is the punishment. And the punishment of the hereafter is much greater
if they only knew. (68:33)
No indeed! The truth is they do not fear the hereafter. (74:53)
No indeed! But you love this fleeting world and you disregard the hereafter.
(75:20-21)
So Allah made an example of him seizing him with punishment in this world
and the hereafter. (79:25)
Yet still you prefer the life of this world, when the hereafter is better
and longer lasting. (87:16-17)
HEAVY RAIN
You who believe! Do not nullify your charity by demands for gratitude
or insulting words, like him who spends his wealth, showing off to people
and not believing in Allah and the Last Day. His likeness is that of a
smooth rock coated with soil, which, when heavy rain falls on it, is left
stripped bare. They have no power over anything they have earned. Allah
does not guide disbelieving people. (2:264)
The metaphor of those who spend their wealth, desiring the pleasure of
Allah and firmness for themselves, is that of a garden on a hillside.
When heavy rain falls on it, it doubles its produce; and if heavy rain
does not fall, there is dew. Allah sees what you do. (2:265)
HEED
Do not marry women of the idolaters until they believe. A slavegirl who
is one of the believers is better for you than a woman of the idolaters,
even though she may attract you. And do not marry men of the idolaters
until they believe. A slave who is one of the believers is better for
you than a man of the idolaters, even though he may attract you. Such
people call you to the Fire whereas Allah calls you, with His permission,
to the Garden and forgiveness. He makes His Signs clear to people so that
hopefully they will pay heed. (2:221)
If you divorce them before you have touched them but have already allotted
them a dowry, they should have half the amount which you allotted, unless
they forgo it or the one in charge of the marriage contract forgoes it.
To forgo it is closer to heedfulness. Do not forget to show generosity
to one another. Allah sees what you do. (2:237)
He gives wisdom to whoever He wills and he who has been given wisdom
has been given great good. But no one pays heed but people of intelligence.
(2:269)
It is He Who sent down the Book to you from Him: verses containing clear
judgements-they are the core of the Book-and others which are open to
interpretation. Those with deviation in their hearts follow what is open
to interpretation in it, desiring conflict, seeking its inner meaning.
No one knows its inner meaning but Allah. Those firmly rooted in knowledge
say, 'We believe in it. All of it is from our Lord.' But only people of
intelligence pay heed. (3:7)
You who believe! Do not profane the sacred rites of Allah or the sacred
months, or the sacrificial animals, or the ritual garlands, or those heading
for the Sacred House, desiring profit and good pleasure from their Lord.
When your pilgrimage is over, then you may hunt. Do not let hatred for
a people who debar you from the Sacred Mosque (Masjid al-Haram) incite
you into going beyond the limits. Help each other to goodness and heedfulness.
Do not help each other to wrongdoing and enmity. Have fear of Allah. Allah
is severe in retribution. (5:2)
You who believe! Show integrity for the sake of Allah, bearing witness
with justice. Do not let hatred for a people incite you into not being
just. Be just. That is closer to heedfulness. Have fear of Allah. Allah
is aware of what you do. (5:8)
His people argued with him. He said, 'Are you arguing with me about Allah
when He has guided me? I have no fear of any partner you ascribe to Him
unless my Lord should will such a thing to happen. My Lord encompasses
all things in His knowledge so will you not pay heed? (6:80)
And that you do not go near the property of orphans before they reach
maturity-except in a good way; that you give full measure and full weight
with justice-We impose on no self any more than it can bear; that you
are equitable when you speak-even if a near relative is concerned; and
that you fulfil Allah's contract. That is what He instructs you to do,
so that hopefully you will pay heed. (6:152)
Children of Adam! We have sent down clothing to you to conceal your private
parts, and fine apparel, but the garment of heedfulness-that is best!
That is one of Allah's Signs, so that hopefully you will pay heed. (7:26)
We seized Pharaoh's people with years of drought and scarcity of fruits
so that hopefully they would pay heed. (7:130)
Do they not see that they are tried once or twice in every year? But
still they do not turn back. They do not pay heed. (9:126)
Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days
and then established Himself firmly on the Throne. He directs the whole
affair. No one can intercede except with His permission. That is Allah
your Lord, so worship Him. Will you not pay heed? (10:3)
The likeness of the two groups is that of the blind and deaf and the
seeing and hearing. Are they the same as one another? So will you not
pay heed? (11:24)
Perform prayer at each end of the day and in the first part of the night.
Good actions eradicate bad actions. This is a reminder for people who
pay heed. (11:114)
Is he who knows that what has been sent down to you from your Lord is
the truth like him who is blind? It is only people of intelligence who
pay heed: (13:19)
It bears fruit regularly by its Lord's permission. Allah makes metaphors
for people so that hopefully they will pay heed. (14:25)
This is a communication to be transmitted to mankind so that they may
be warned by it and so that they will know that He is One God and so that
people of intelligence will pay heed. (14:52)
And also the things of varying colours He has created for you in the
earth. There is certainly a Sign in that for people who pay heed. (16:13)
Is He Who creates like him who does not create? So will you not pay heed?
(16:17)
Allah commands justice and doing good and giving to relatives. And He
forbids indecency and doing wrong and tyranny. He warns you so that hopefully
you will pay heed. (16:90)
We have made things clear in this Qur'an so that they might pay heed,
but it only makes them run away the more! (17:41)
(He said to Musa,) 'But speak to him with gentle words so that hopefully
he will pay heed or show some fear.' (20:44)
We gave to Musa and Harun the Discrimination and a Shining Light and
a Reminder for the heedful. (21:48)
That is it. As for those who honour Allah's sacred rites should do so
from heartfelt heeding. (22:32)
Their flesh and blood does not reach Allah but your heedfulness does
reach Him. In this way He has subjected them to you so that you might
proclaim Allah's greatness for the way that He has guided you. Give good
news to the good-doers. (22:37)
Say: 'To whom does the earth belong, and everyone in it, if you have
any knowledge?' They will say: 'To Allah.' Say: 'So will you not pay heed?'
(23:84-85)
A sura We have sent down and imposed. We have sent down Clear Signs in
it so that hopefully you will pay heed. (24:1)
You who believe! Do not enter houses other than your own until you have
asked permission and greeted their inhabitants. That is better for you,
so that hopefully you will pay heed. (24:27)
We have variegated it for them so they might pay heed but most people
spurn anything else but disbelief. (25:50)
It is He Who made night and day succeed each other for those who want
to pay heed or to give thanks. (25:62)
He Who responds to the oppressed when they call on Him and removes their
distress, and has appointed you as inheritors of the earth. Is there another
god besides Allah? How little you pay heed! (27:62)
We gave Musa the Book after destroying the earlier nations, to awaken
people's hearts and as a guidance and a mercy so that hopefully they would
pay heed. (28:43)
Nor were you on the side of the Mount when We called, yet it is a mercy
from your Lord so that you can warn a people to whom no warner came before,
so that hopefully they will pay heed. (28:46)
We have conveyed the Word to them so that hopefully they will pay heed.
(28:51)
Allah is He Who created the heavens and the earth and everything between
them in six days and then established Himself firmly upon the Throne.
You have no protector or intercessor apart from Him. So will you not pay
heed? (32:34)
They will shout out in it, 'Our Lord! Take us out! We will act rightly,
differently from the way we used to act!' Did We not let you live long
enough for anyone who was going to pay heed to pay heed? And did not the
warner come to you? Taste it then! There is no helper for the wrongdoers.
(35:37)
When they are reminded they do not pay heed. (37:13)
Will you not pay heed? (37:155)
It is a Book We have sent down to you, full of blessing, so let people
of intelligence ponder its Signs and take heed. (38:29)
What of him who spends the night hours in prayer, prostrating and standing
up, mindful of the hereafter, hoping for the mercy of his Lord? Say: 'Are
they the same-those who know and those who do not know?' It is only people
of intelligence who pay heed. (39:9)
We have given all kinds of examples to people in this Qur'an, so that
hopefully they will pay heed. (39:27)
It is He Who shows you His Signs and sends down provision to you out
of heaven. But none pay heed save those who repent. (40:13)
The blind and the seeing are not the same. Nor are those who believe
and do right actions the same as evildoers. What little heed they pay!
(40:58)
We have made it easy in your own tongue so that hopefully they will pay
heed. (44:58)
Have you seen him who takes his whims and desires to be his god-whom
Allah has misguided knowingly, sealing up his hearing and his heart and
placing a blindfold over his eyes? Who then will guide him after Allah?
So will you not pay heed? (45:23)
Those who disbelieve filled their hearts with fanatical rage-the fanatical
rage of the Time of Ignorance-and Allah sent down serenity to His Messenger
and to the believers, and bound them to the expression of heedfulness
which they had most right to and were most entitled to. Allah has knowledge
of all things. (48:26)
Those who lower their voices when they are with the Messenger of Allah
are people whose hearts Allah has tested for heedfulness. They will have
forgiveness and an immense reward. (49:3)
And the Garden will be brought up close to the heedful, not far away.
(50:31)
The heedful will be among Gardens and Fountains. (51:15)
And We created all things in pairs so that hopefully you would pay heed.
(51:49)
You have known the first formation, so will you not pay heed? (56:62)
It is not the word of a poet-how little faith you have! Nor the word
of a fortune-teller-how little heed you pay! (69:41-42)
It (the Qur'an) is a reminder for the heedful. (69:48)
No indeed! It is truly a reminder to which anyone who wills may pay heed.
(74:54-55)
But they will only pay heed if Allah wills. He is entitled to be feared
and entitled to forgive. (74:56)
The heedful will be amid shade and fountains. (77:41)
Do you think he is rightly guided or commands heedfulness? (96:11-12)
HEEL
In this way We have made you a middlemost community, so that you may
act as witnesses against mankind and the Messenger as a witness against
you. We only appointed the direction you used to face in order to know
those who follow the Messenger from those who turn round on their heels.
Though in truth it is a very hard thing-except for those Allah has guided.
Allah would never let your faith go to waste. Allah is All-Gentle, Most
Merciful to mankind. (2:143)
Muhammad is only a Messenger and he has been preceded by other Messengers.
If he were to die or be killed, would you turn on your heels? Those who
turn on their heels do not harm Allah in any way. Allah will recompense
the thankful. (3:144)
You who believe! If you obey those who disbelieve, they will turn you
round on your heels and you will be transformed into losers. (3:149)
Say: 'Are we to call on something besides Allah which can neither help
nor harm us, and to turn on our heels after Allah has guided us, like
someone the Satans have lured away in the earth, leaving him confused
and stupefied, despite the fact that he has companions calling him to
guidance, saying, "Come with us!"?' Say: 'Allah's guidance, that is true
guidance. We are commanded to submit as Muslims to the Lord of all the
worlds,' (6:71)
When Satan made their actions appear good to them, saying, 'No one will
overcome you today for I am at your side.' But when the two parties came
in sight of one another, he turned right round on his heels saying, 'I
wash my hands of you. I see what you do not see. I fear Allah. Allah is
severe in retribution.' (8:48)
My Signs were recited to you and you turned round on your heels, (23:66)
HEIGHTS, THE (A'RAF)
There will be a dividing wall between them and on the heights there will
be men who recognise everyone by their mark. They will call out to the
people of the Garden: 'Peace be upon you!' They will not enter it for
all their ardent desire to do so. When they turn their eyes towards the
Companions of the Fire, they will say, 'Our Lord, do not place us with
the people of the wrongdoers!' The Companions of the Heights will call
out to men they recognise by their mark, saying, 'What you amassed was
of no use to you, nor was your arrogance.' (7:46-48)
HELL (JAHANNAM)
When he is told to have fear of Allah, he is seized by pride which drives
him to wrongdoing. Hell will be enough for him! What an evil resting-place!
(2:206)
Say to those who disbelieve: 'You will be overwhelmed and crowded into
Hell. What an evil resting-place!' (3:12)
On the Day when faces are whitened and faces are blackened. As for those
whose faces are blackened: 'What! Did you disbelieve after having believed?
Taste the punishment for your disbelief!' (3:106)
Is someone who pursues the pleasure of Allah the same as someone who
incurs displeasure from Allah and whose refuge is Hell? What an evil destination!
(3:162)
A brief enjoyment; then their shelter will be Hell. What an evil resting-place!
(3:197)
Some of them believe in him, and some bar access to him. Hell will suffice
as a Searing Blaze! (4:55)
As for those who reject Our Signs, We will roast them in a Fire. Every
time their skins are burned off, We will replace them with new skins so
that they can taste the punishment. Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. (4:56)
As for anyone who kills a believer deliberately, his repayment is Hell,
remaining in it timelessly, for ever. Allah is angry with him and has
cursed him, and has prepared for him a terrible punishment. (4:93)
The angels ask those they take while they are wronging themselves, 'What
were your circumstances?' They reply, 'We were oppressed on earth.' They
say, 'Was Allah's earth not wide enough for you to have migrated elsewhere
in it?' The shelter of such people will be Hell. What an evil destination!
(4:97)
But if anyone opposes the Messenger after the guidance has become clear
to him, and follows other than the path of the believers, We will hand
him over to whatever he has turned to, and We will roast him in Hell.
What an evil destination! (4:115)
The shelter of such people will be Hell. They will find no way to escape
from it. (4:121)
It has been sent down to you in the Book that when you hear Allah's Signs
being rejected and mocked at by people, you must not sit with them till
they start talking of other things. If you do you are just the same as
them. Allah will gather all the hypocrites and disbelievers into Hell.
(4:140)
Allah will not forgive those who disbelieve and do wrong or guide them
on any path, except the path of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for
ever and ever. That is easy for Allah. (4:168-169)
If only you could see when they are standing before the Fire and saying,
'Oh! If only we could be sent back again, we would not deny the Signs
of our Lord and we would be among the believers.' (6:27)
If only you could see when they are standing before their Lord. He will
say, 'Is this not the Truth?' They will say, 'Yes indeed, by our Lord!'
He will say, 'Then taste the punishment for your disbelief.' (6:30)
On the Day We gather them all together: 'Company of jinn, you gained
many followers among mankind.' And their friends among mankind will say,
'Our Lord, we benefited from one another, and now we have reached the
term which You determined for us.' He will say, 'The Fire is your home.
You will be in it timelessly, for ever, except as Allah wills. Your Lord
is All-Wise, All-Knowing.' (6:128)
He said, 'Get out of it, reviled and driven out. As for those of them
who follow you, I will fill up Hell with every one of you.' (7:18)
He will say, 'Enter the Fire together with the nations of jinn and men
who have passed away before you.' Each time a nation enters, it will curse
its sister nation, until, when they are all gathered together in it, the
last of them will say to the first, 'Our Lord, those are the ones who
misguided us, so give them a double punishment in the Fire.' He will say,
'Each will receive double. But you do not know it.' (7:38)
The first of them will say to the last, 'You are in no way superior to
us so taste the punishment for what you earned.' (7:39)
As for those who deny Our Signs and are arrogant regarding them, the
Gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, and they will not enter the
Garden until a camel goes through a needle's eye. That is how We repay
the evildoers. (7:40)
They will have Hell as a resting-place and covering layers on top of
them. That is how We repay wrongdoers. (7:41)
When they turn their eyes towards the Companions of the Fire, they will
say, 'Our Lord, do not place us with the people of the wrongdoers!' (7:47)
The Companions of the Ramparts will call out to men they recognise by
their mark, saying, 'What you amassed was of no use to you, nor was your
arrogance.' (7:48)
The Companions of the Fire will call out to the Companions of the Garden,
'Throw down some water to us or some of what Allah has given you as provision.'
They will say, 'Allah has forbidden them to the disbelievers: those who
took their religion as a diversion and a game, and were deluded by the
life of this world.' Today We will forget them just as they forgot the
encounter of this Day and denied Our Signs. (7:50-51)
We created many of the jinn and mankind for Hell. They have hearts they
do not understand with. They have eyes they do not see with. They have
ears they do not hear with. Such people are like cattle. No, they are
even further astray! They are the unaware. (7:179)
Anyone who turns his back on them that day, unless he is withdrawing
to rejoin the fight or withdrawing to support another group, brings Allah's
anger down upon himself. His refuge is Hell. What an evil destination!
(8:16)
Those who disbelieve spend their wealth barring access to the Way of
Allah. They will spend it; then they will regret it; then they will be
overthrown. Those who disbelieve will be gathered into Hell, so that Allah
can sift the bad out from the good, and pile the bad on top of one another,
heaping them all together, and tip them into Hell. They are the lost.
(8:36-37)
On the Day it is heated up in the fire of Hell and their foreheads, sides
and backs are branded with it: 'This is what you hoarded for yourselves,
so taste what you were hoarding!' (9:35)
Among them are there some who say, 'Give me permission to stay. Do not
put temptation in my way.' Have they not fallen into that very temptation?
Hell hems in the disbelievers. (9:49)
Do they not know that whoever opposes Allah and His Messenger, will have
the Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever? That is the great
disgrace. (9:63)
Allah has promised the men and women of the hypocrites and disbelievers
the Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. It will suffice
them. Allah has cursed them. They will have everlasting punishment. (9:68)
O Prophet, strive against the disbelievers and hypocrites and be harsh
with them. Their shelter will be Hell. What an evil destination! (9:73)
Those who were left behind were glad to stay behind the Messenger of
Allah. They did not want to strive with their wealth and themselves in
the Way of Allah. They said, 'Do not go out to fight in the heat.' Say:
'The Fire of Hell is much hotter, if they only understood.' (9:81)
They will swear to you by Allah when you return to them, so that you
leave them alone. Leave them alone, then! They are filth. Their shelter
will be Hell as repayment for what they did. (9:95)
Who is better: someone who founds his building on fear of Allah and His
good pleasure, or someone who founds his building on the brink of a crumbling
precipice so that it collapses with him into the Fire of Hell? Allah does
not love wrongdoers. (9:109)
If your Lord had wanted to, He would have made mankind into one community
but they persist in their differences, except for those your Lord has
mercy on. That is what He created them for-so that the Word of your Lord
would be fulfilled: 'I will fill up Hell with the jinn and mankind all
together.' (11:118-119)
Those who respond to their Lord will receive the best. But as for those
who do not respond to Him, even if they owned everything on the earth
and the same again with it, they would offer it as a ransom. They will
receive an evil Reckoning. Their shelter will be Hell. What an evil resting-place!
(13:18)
And beyond him is Hell where he will be given pus to drink. He gulps
at it but can hardly swallow it down. Death comes at him from every side
but he does not die. And beyond him is relentless punishment. (14:16-17)
Hell, where they will roast? What an evil place to stay! (14:29)
Warn mankind of the Day when the punishment will reach them. Those who
did wrong will say, 'Our Lord, reprieve us for a short time. We will respond
to Your call and follow the Messengers.' 'But did you not swear to Me
before that you would never meet your downfall?' (14:44)
Hell is the promised meeting-place for all of them. (15:43)
It has seven gates and each gate has its allotted share. (15:44)
As for those the angels take in death while they are wronging themselves,
they will offer their submission: 'We did not do any evil.' Oh yes you
did! Allah knows what you were doing. (16:28)
(Wrongdoers will be told:) 'Enter the gates of Hell, remaining in it
timelessly, for ever. How evil is the abode of the arrogant!' (16:29)
(We decreed in the Book for the tribe of Israel:) 'It may well be that
your Lord will have mercy on you. But if you revert to what you did, We
also will revert. We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.' (17:8)
As for anyone who desires this fleeting existence, We hasten in it whatever
We will to whoever We want. Then We will consign him to Hell where he
will roast, reviled and driven out. (17:18)
That is part of the wisdom your Lord has revealed to you. Do not set
up another god together with Allah and so be thrown into Hell, blamed
and driven out. (17:39)
He said, 'Go! And as for any who follow you, your repayment is Hell,
repayment in full!' (17:63)
Whoever Allah guides is truly guided. But as for those He leads astray,
you will not find any protectors for them apart from Him. We will gather
them on the Day of Rising, flat on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf.
Their shelter will be Hell. Whenever the Blaze dies down, We will increase
it for them. (17:97)
Say: 'It is the truth from your Lord; so let whoever wishes believe and
whoever wishes disbelieve.' We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire
whose billowing walls of smoke will hem them in. If they call for help,
they will be helped with water like seething molten brass, frying their
faces. What a noxious drink! What an evil repose! (18:29)
We will abandon them, that Day, to pound against each other in surging
waves and the Trumpet will be blown and We will gather them all together.
(18:99)
That Day We will display Hell in its totality to the disbelievers. (18:100)
Do those who disbelieve imagine that they can take My servants as protectors
instead of Me? We have prepared Hell as hospitality for the disbelievers!
(18:102)
That is their repayment-Hell-because they disbelieved and made a mockery
of My Signs and of My Messengers. (18:106)
By your Lord, We will collect them and the Satans together. Then We will
assemble them around Hell on their knees. (19:68)
Say: 'As for those who are astray, let the All-Merciful prolong their
term until they see what they were promised, whether it be the punishment
or the Hour. Then they will know who is in the worse position and has
the weaker troops.' (19:75)
But We will drive the evildoers to Hell, like cattle to a watering hole.
(19:86)
As for those who come to their Lord as evildoers, they will have Hell
where they will neither die nor stay alive. (20:74)
Were any of them to say, 'I am a god apart from Him,' We would repay
him with Hell. That is how We repay wrongdoers. (21:29)
You and what you worship besides Allah are fuel for Hell. You will go
down into it. (21:98)
There will be sighing for them in it and they will not be able to hear.
(21:100)
Here are two rival groups who disputed concerning their Lord. Those who
disbelieve will have garments of fire cut out for them, and boiling water
poured over their heads. (22:19)
Every time they want to come out of it, because of their suffering, they
will be driven back into it: 'Taste the punishment of the Burning!' (22:22)
Those whose scales are heavy, they are the successful. Those whose scales
are light, they are the losers of their selves, remaining in Hell timelessly,
for ever. The Fire will sear their faces, making them grimace horribly
in it, their lips drawn back from their teeth. Were My Signs not recited
to you and did you not deny them?' They will say, 'Our Lord, our miserable
destiny overpowered us. We were misguided people. Our Lord, remove us
from it! Then if we revert again, we will definitely be wrongdoers.' He
will say, 'Slink away into it and do not speak to Me.' (23:102-108)
But instead, they deny the Hour; and We have prepared a Searing Blaze
for those who deny the Hour. (25:11)
When they are flung into a narrow place in it, shackled together in chains,
they will cry out there for destruction. 'Do not cry out today for just
one destruction, cry out for many destructions!' Say: 'Is that better,
or the Garden of Eternal Life which has been promised to those who guard
against evil? That is their recompense and destination.' (25:13-15)
So now they have disowned you for what you said, and they cannot avert
it or give you any help. As for anyone among you who has done wrong, We
will make him suffer great punishment. (25:19)
On the Day they see the angels, there will be no good news that Day for
the evildoers. They will say, 'There is an absolute ban.' (25:22)
We will advance on the actions they have done and make them scattered
specks of dust. (25:23).
Those who are herded headlong into Hell, such people are in the worst
position. They are the most misguided from the way. (25:34)
(The servants of the All-Merciful are) those who say, 'Our Lord, avert
from us the punishment of Hell, its punishment is inescapable pain.' (25:65)
He said, 'You have adopted idols apart from Allah as tokens of mutual
affection in this world. But then on the Day of Rising you will reject
one another and curse one another. The Fire will be your shelter. You
will have no helpers.' (29:25)
They ask you to hasten the punishment but Hell already encircles the
disbelievers. (29:54)
Who could do greater wrong than someone who invents lies against Allah
or denies the truth when it comes to him? Is there not shelter in Hell
for the disbelievers? (29:68)
But as for those who disbelieved and denied Our Signs and the meeting
of the hereafter, they will be summoned to the punishment. (30:16)
(Evildoers will be told,) 'Had We so willed We could have given guidance
to everyone, but now My Words are shown to be true: that I shall fill
up Hell entirely with jinn and human beings.' (32:13)
But as for those who are deviators, their refuge is the Fire. Every time
that they want to get out, they are put straight back into it again and
they are told, 'Taste the punishment of the Fire, which you denied.' (32:20)
Whereas for those who disbelieve there will be the Fire of Hell. They
will not be killed off so that they die and its punishment will not be
lightened for them. That is how We repay every thankless man. (35:36)
They will shout out in it, 'Our Lord! Take us out! We will act rightly,
differently from the way we used to act!' Did We not let you live long
enough for anyone who was going to pay heed to pay heed? And did not the
warner come to you? Taste it then! There is no helper for the wrongdoers.
(35:37)
This is the Hell that you were promised. (36:63)
Hell, where they will roast. What an evil resting-place! (38:56)
(He said,) 'I will fill up Hell with you and every one of them who follows
you.' (38:85)
Is someone who tries to shield himself with his face from the worst of
the torment on the Day of Rising...? The wrongdoers will be told, 'Taste
what you have earned.' (39:24)
Who could do greater wrong than those who lie about Allah and deny the
truth when it comes to them? Do the disbelievers not have a dwelling place
in Hell? (39:32)
On the Day of Rising you will see those who lied against Allah with their
faces blackened. Do not the arrogant have a dwelling place in Hell? (39:60)
Those who disbelieve will be driven to Hell in companies and when they
arrive there and its gates are opened, its custodians will say to them,
'Did Messengers from yourselves not come to you, reciting your Lord's
Signs to you and warning you of the meeting on this Day of yours?' They
will say, 'Indeed they did, but the decree of punishment is justly carried
out against the disbelievers.' (39:71)
They will be told, 'Enter the gates of Hell and stay there timelessly,
for ever. How evil is the abode of the arrogant!' (39:72)
Those in the Fire will say to the custodians of Hell, 'Call on your Lord
to make the punishment less for us for just one day.' (40:49)
Your Lord says, 'Call on Me and I will answer you. Those who who are
too proud to worship Me will enter Hell abject.' (40:60)
(Deniers will be told,) 'Enter the gates of Hell, remaining in it timelessly,
for ever. How evil is the abode of the arrogant!' (40:76)
The evildoers will remain timelessly, for ever, in the punishment of
Hell. (43:74)
Hell is right at their heels. Nothing they have earned will be of any
use to them, nor will those they took as protectors besides Allah. They
will have a terrible punishment. (45:10)
And so that He might punish the men and women of the hypocrites and the
men and women of the idolaters-those who think bad thoughts about Allah.
They will suffer an evil turn of fate. Allah is angry with them, and has
cursed them and prepared Hell for them. What an evil destination! (48:6)
(Custodians of Hell will be told,) 'Hurl into Hell every obdurate disbeliever,
impeder of good, doubt-causing aggressor, who set up another god together
with Allah. Hurl him into the terrible punishment.' (50:24-26)
On the Day He says to Hell, 'Are you full?' it will ask, 'Are there no
more to come?' (50:30)
The Day they are shoved roughly into the Fire of Hell: (deniers will
be told,) 'This is the Fire which you denied! So is this magic? Or is
it that you do not see? Roast in it! And bear it patiently or do not bear
it patiently. It makes no difference either way. You are simply being
repaid for what you did.' (52:13-16)
This is Hell which the evildoers deny. (55:43)
They will go back and forth between fire and scalding water. (55:44)
(Say:) 'This will be their hospitality on the Day of Judgment!' (56:56)
That Day the men and women of the hypocrites will say to those who believe,
'Wait for us so that we can borrow some of your light.' They will be told,
'Go back and look for light!' And a wall will be erected between them
with a gate in it, on the inside of which there will be mercy but before
whose exterior lies the punishment. (57:13)
Do you not see those who were forbidden to confer together secretly returning
to the very thing they were forbidden to do, and conferring together secretly
in wrongdoing and enmity and disobedience to the Messenger? And when they
come to you they greet you with words Allah has never used in greeting
you, and say to themselves 'Why does Allah not punish us for what we say?'
Hell will be enough for them! They will roast in it. What an evil destination!
(58:8)
'You who disbelieve! Do not try to excuse yourselves today. You are merely
being repaid for what you did.' (66:7)
O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and hypocrites and be harsh
with them. Their refuge is Hell. What an evil destination! (66:9)
Those who reject their Lord will have the punishment of Hell. What an
evil destination! (67:6)
It all but bursts with rage. Each time a group is flung into it its custodians
will question them: 'Did no warner come to you?' They will say, 'Yes indeed,
a warner did come to us but we denied him and said, "Allah has sent nothing
down. You are just greatly misguided."' They will say, 'If only we had
really listened and used our intellect, we would not have been Companions
of the Blaze.' Then they will acknowledge their wrong actions. Away with
the Companions of the Blaze! (67:8-11)
(Say: 'It has been revealed to me that a band of the jinn listened and
said,) "Some of us are Muslims and some are deviators. Those who have
become Muslim are those who sought right guidance; the deviators will
be firewood for Hellfire."' (72:14-15)
Say: 'No one can protect me from Allah and I will never find any refuge
apart from Him-only in transmitting from Allah and His Messages. As for
him who disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he will have the Fire of Hell,
remaining in it timelessly, for ever and ever.' (72:22-23)
I will roast him in Saqar. (74:26)
They (the companions of the Right) will ask the evildoers: 'What caused
you to enter Saqar?' (74:41-42)
We have made ready for the disbelievers shackles and chains and a Searing
Blaze. (76:4)
Hell lies in wait. (78:21)
So taste! We will increase you only in punishment. (78:30)
Those who persecute men and women of the believers, and then do not repent,
will have the punishment of Hell, will have the punishment of the Burning.
(85:10)
Some faces on that Day will be downcast, labouring, toiling endlessly,
roasting in a red-hot Fire, drinking from a boiling spring. They have
no food but a bitter thorny bus which neither nourishes nor satisfies.
(88:2-7)
And that Day Hell is produced, that Day man will remember; but how will
the remembrance help him? (89:23)
Those who reject Our signs, they are the Companions of the Left. (90:19)
I have warned you of a Fire which rages, in which only the most wretched
will roast. (92:14-15)
We will call the Guards of Hell! (96:18)
The People of the Book who disbelieve and the idolaters will be in the
Fire of Hell, remaining in it timelessly, for ever. They are the worst
of creatures. (98:6)
But as for him whose balance is light, his motherland is Hawiya. And
what will convey to you what that is? A raging Fire! (101:8-11)
No indeed, if you only knew with the Knowledge of Certainty, you will
certainly see the Blazing Fire! Then you will certainly see it with the
Eye of Certainty. (102:5-7)
Woe to every faultfinding backbiter who has amassed wealth and hoarded
it! He thinks his wealth will make him live for ever. No indeed! He will
be flung into the Shatterer. And what will convey to you what the Shatterer
is? The kindled Fire of Allah reaching right into the heart. It is sealed
in above them in towering columns. (104:1-9)
Ruin to the hands of Abu Lahab and ruin to him! His wealth has not helped
him nor anything he has earned. He will burn in a Flaming Fire. And so
will his wife, the firewood-carrier, with a rope of twisted fibre round
her neck. (111:1-5)
